About Our
Shelter:

StreetCats, Inc is a non-profit organization whose purpose is to shelter cats that have been abandoned or lost and to find new homes for them. The cats that we take in are adoptable cats only. We are a society that does not place a time limit on a healthy cat's life; we keep them until a home is found. Our cats come from a variety of situations. Sometimes relocation or a change in family structure forces someone to find a new home for his or her cat. Many times the situation is beyond their control, and the decision is a difficult one. We help by acting as a transition home for the cat until a new one can be found.

Come Meet our Pets:

Our StreetCats are housed in our Adoption Center at 6520 E. 60th St. and fostered in volunteer's homes. The StreetCats Center is open Tuesday through Saturday, 10:30 - 5:00. The proceeds from the Boutique are all directly applied to the adoption program. Our Adoption Center and Boutique is run completely by volunteers.

Our Adoption Process:

Each cat that is admitted into StreetCats has a comprehensive physical exam by a veterinarian. This "13-point" check evaluates coat & skin, eyes, ears, nose & throat, teeth & gums, legs & paws, heart, abdomen, lungs, intestinal tract, urinary tract, weight and diet evaluation. If any problems are found, they are treated before the kitty is put on our adoption list. In addition, the cats are tested for Feline Leukemia Virus and FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus). A stool sample is checked for intestinal parasites and the kitty is dewormed. A flea treatment (Revolution) is applied and vaccinations are given. After a cat has been evaluated and determined to be in good health then a spay/neuter is performed. Surgery is done in a sterile environment with constant monitoring during anesthesia and recovery. All of these services are valued at $300. This does not include any additional treatment if a medical problem is found! StreetCats is committed to adopting out healthy, loving cats for an affordable adoption fee. We rely on our donations to help cover the medical costs on our kitties. We want to provide the best care possible to these "cats in need." After all, they repay us many times over with lots of purrrrrs and unconditional love! You really get your money's worth for a $75 adoption fee! For two kitties, the adoption fee is only $135. We also offer $65 adoption fee for a Senior Discount. Senior discount for 2 cats is $120

Why should you adopt?

Dog adoption and cat
adoption saves lives. Adopt
a dog or adopt a cat and
you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a cat
or kitten versus getting cats for sale or kittens for sale from a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding kittens, they are creating new cats who need homes.
Some people are interested in a very specific breed of cat or kitten and they
think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a cat for sale from
a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage
people to adopt a cat or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA,
humane society or pet rescue group.
